Extracting XMP metadata from EPS files

Question

I am trying to implement a module in either C# or classic ASP, which extracts the XMP data from a EPS file.

Is there a framework or component (not necesarilly free) which can help me to create this module?

Any advice / direction will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

While I didn't check http://www.imagemagick.org/ should be able to do this and it can be loaded as an ASP COM object.

' example usage in ASP - resize an image
Set img = CreateObject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1")
msgs = img.convert(src, "-scale", "200x200", trg)

Edit:

According to this info it is possible:

Re-written for this new info (not tested):

Set img = CreateObject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage.1")
msgs = img.convert("identify", "-verbose", trg)

Where trg is your file, you would then have to process the output to get the info you needed.
